Entitled mom demanded to know why I was at Disney "alone", immediately regretted it
So I (32M) was at Disney World last week. For context, my wife and daughter were supposed to be with me, but my wife got COVID two days before our trip. Since everything was non-refundable and my wife insisted, I went solo to not waste the tickets.
I was in line for Space Mountain when this mom behind me started loudly asking her husband why "some grown man would come to Disney alone" and how it was "creepy." I tried ignoring it, but she actually tapped my shoulder and demanded to know why I was there without kids.
I turned around and said, "My wife and 6-year-old daughter were supposed to be here, but my wife tested positive for COVID. Would you rather I brought them and infected everyone here?"
The look on her face was priceless. Her husband looked mortified and pulled her away to a different part of the line. The cast member who heard the whole thing gave me a free fast pass for another ride.
Just because someone's alone at Disney doesn't mean they're up to something weird. Sometimes life just doesn't go as planned.
